Missy89: Africans are obsessed with their tribes as if it matters. Comparing themselves to the Germans, French etc really? and always b1tching about irrelevant achievements that hasn't saved them from abject poverty and misery ravaging their continent

rugged7: 3 million igbos dead and 20 pounds to re-start your life is really genocidal and criminal.
That is where the problem between the igbos and yorubas lie.
BUT, Igbos have done splendidly well since then, all things considered.
We-the igbo should forgive.... but NEVER forget.
I think bitterness and hate serves no beneficial purpose.
Nd' igbo should reach for the skies, cos their future is written in the stars...

filiks:

Son, since I started raising kids, I've learnt to identify them by sight, words or actions, and to forgive them and direct them so they can become better people. So I forgive you, kid.

My father is long gone, I buried him so many years ago. He passed on after I graduated from the university. Get it? How old are you by the way?

Blockus:

Heheheheee..

Enlighten me huh?! Good one.. How about you give it a shot. I will take off my sacarstic front and indulge you if you can put out enough solid points to warrant my indulgence.

And I have no hate in me. Why hate on something or someone for being something that is above their ability to change.

shizzle11:
Do you actually know the meaning of the word compare?

filiks:

In the post I read, the author did not compare, but likened the tribes to Germany and France. I'm sure you can tell the difference.

Humblebloke:

Aiit then... Its best to give it a rest...

MOVE ON...face d future

With dis sort of attitude...Nigeria wil neva b a better place.

OrlandoOwoh: Igbo parents should stop planting the seed of hatred in their children.

iwonbaoko: Age?
Certainly I am not your coeval .You must know in life for every action there is a reaction often worse than the action. If you stir a hornet's nest you will get stung.The reason you are now talking about your dead father is because you spoke out of turn. You disrespect anyone you can be sure you will get a lot worse back in return. Like I said before I did not direct any personal remarks at you before you started to "show" yourself. Hopefully you will learn some self restraint.
I am not your kid so don't call me- kid, so that your kids do not perish in an untimely way.

Femiii: lol....jst can't help it, laughing hard.i love nairaland peeps

Missy89:
comparing or likened what difference does it make?
going on and on about what really doesn't matter is just ridiculous

A Man who forgets his past, has only set himself up for failure in the future.

Move on: Until we fix the Past, there can be no future.

With this sort of sweeping everything under the rug and moving forward like its all good, we are definitely bound to fall back into the same shiit that we found ourselves in the past.

Thats why every Nation that has experienced similar type of situations of conflicts between two or more sides have always had what they call 'reconcilation panels' where everyone tells the truth, apologise, those to be punished face the punishment and together, holding hands they progress. Rwanda did it, South Africa did it, e.t.c. Nigeria held the same under the chairmanship of the Late Justice Chukwudifu Oputa and some Nigerians who were key in that conflict and more decided not to show up.

Do you really think its as easy as sweeping it under the rug and moving on?!

Thats why we are still where we are today.

eaglechild:
Pls can you explain.
Are you an Igbo parent?
Have you been planting the seed of hatred in your children?

Blockus:

You see why we hate Yoruba people.

You cant even accept responsibility for your actions.

Ifto say na beer palour we dey when you talk this thing, by now, you for dey find Chamist to treat you for 'head busting'.

ShirelleBaby: WHO IS WIN?brother,I give up!!

mainman7: These diametrically demented cacophonous toilet tissues called igbos always ululating about the Great Yorubas. Nya miri Gwongworos! Ojukwu, your acclaimed igbo lord and the greatest igbo of all time was a coward just like every other igbo and he took to his heels dressed as a female (What an height of cowardice!). The fact that igbos are fools is highly substantiated and corroborated by the fact that someone that deceived millions of igbos into being slaughtered like chickens in Biafran war (who himself ran away dressed like a woman) was being celebrated when he came back. Also during Abacha regime of tyranny, coward Ojukwu kept his mouth shut throughout. He only found his voice again when OBJ became the president. Before they left, the Colonial British Army rightly observed, that the Yorubas are the most militarily intelligent in Nigeria, especially when it comes to developing disastrously destructive military strategies. "Brain is better than brawn" Biafra was actually initially winning the war (igbos read your own history) until the Great Awolowo(a typical Yoruba Man), the ununiformed General, stepped in on the side of Nigeria and came up with the intelligent military strategy that gave Nigeria Victory over Biafra. "In warfare it's all fair". You know that Hausas only hear go! Just give the military order, they'll carry it out to the letter. Even long after Biafra had surrendered, the killing of igbos continued untill Awolowo, the greatest Nigerian Generalissimo of all time, intervened again and told the Military to allow the remaining igbos to be alive. So, you senseless igbo mofos still have the to thank the Yorubas today, understand?! "Next time you see a Yoruba man, duff your hat and bow before him!"

MillionDollars: I'd rather say its ppinky and the brain relationship!!

lekkie073: na so ojukwu make mouth till ordinary hunters in ore hold am to a stalemate

hbpeze: all i no is that igbos survive anywere in this planet even on alien planet

Rilamaka: This post almost brought tears to my eyes as I was once in love with a yoruba corper. Distance played a major factor but we are still very good friends.

I think the good relationship between the Igbos and Yorubas surpasses the bad relationship, because the bad relationship seems to exist solely on social media platform, while Igbo - Yoruba forged relationships are raking in millions everyday, this is evident in our Nigeria entertainment industry.

Only sad, hateful, failed people tend to curse each other out on social media.

TYlicious: I am a yoruba girl and d bulk of my friends esp guys are Igbo. .I lyk d igbo language (can't speak it doe) I can deal with that,a lot of us keep friends frm d oda tribe depending on which we belong but truth be told our parents have sown d seed of discord lyk sum1 rightly said. U can imagine an elderly family member asking why I keep Igbo friends
Dat aside I still don't understand why some pple are clamouring for apology by yoruba tribe.Awolowo is dead so is Ojukwu,who will spearhead the 'Apology commitee' and deliver the apology address? who will welcome the apology commitee and accept it on behalf of d Igbos? What we can do is 4give and 4get as individuals.
The situation on ground is way serious than the superiority clash btw Igbos and Yorubas so we can all take a chill pill and just show luv 'stead of harmful exchange of words cos Nigeria needs us more dan ever.
